Not all car industry reviewers will agree on how to rank models. When it comes to the 2022 Honda Civic, it’s clear that Consumer Reports and MotorTrend achieved different results in their assessments. See what each concluded and what made the outcomes so varied. Both groups agree the Honda Civic belongs on their respective recommendation lists, just not in the same ranking.

How the 2022 Honda Civic ranks

The 2022 Honda Civic is redesigned, launching the hatchback and sedan versions of this endearing car for its 11th generation. MotorTrend says, “small car, big deal,” citing significant advantages like fuel efficiency, powerful engines, and robust safety features. According to their assessments, the Civic comes in as the number one choice in compact sedans, with a rating of 9.3 out of 10.

Consumer Reports also recommends the 2022 Honda Civic, which means the sedan did well in the overall scoring process. The Consumer Reports team gave the Civic a score of 70, which is a solid rating. However, based on their testing, the Honda Civic comes in sixth in the compact car segment. While the Consumer Reports team highlighted the car’s fuel efficiency, it came to less impressive conclusions about acceleration, earning 3 out of 5, ride quality, making 3 out of 5, and road noise, earning 2 out of 5. According to Consumer Reports, the 2022 Hyundai Elantra, the 2022 Toyota Corolla, and the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta earned higher overall scores in the compact sedan class.

No one can argue the 2022 Honda Civic’s impressive specs

Despite the 2022 Honda Civic ranking differently among industry evaluations, no one can argue about this sedan’s impressive specs. In addition to Consumer Reports and MotorTrend findings, Edmunds also applauds the Civic’s fuel economy. It earns 34 mpg combined, which is roughly three or four mpg better than its direct competitors.

Exploring the 2022 Honda Civic options, consumers can choose between five trims, the LX, Sport, EX, Touring, and the Si. The hatchback provides similar trim selections, with the LX, Sport, EX-L, and the Sport Touring. Each level brings a more aggressive roster of extras, too.

The Honda Civic LX and Sport variations come with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, achieving 158 hp. The higher trims come with the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, bumping horsepower to 180. Opting for the highest level Si trim means harnessing a whopping 200 hp of the 1.5-liter engine. It achieves a 0 to 60 time of 7.4 seconds and 9.2 seconds with these engines.

The extras will vary as you bump up trims. But consumers can expect a robust roster of standard driver aids with every Honda Civic. Driver attention monitoring, auto high beams, traffic sign reader capability, adaptive cruise, lane-keeping assist, and forward-collision warning are standard.

How Consumer Reports and MotorTrend determine ratings

When you recognize how the MotorTrend and Consumer Reports rating systems vary, it’s easy to see how the 2022 Honda Civic can show up in different rankings. Additional factors besides the internal road testing and evaluations contribute to a Consumer Reports score. Consumer Reports uses vehicle owner surveys to gauge average owner satisfaction and reliability, which weighs on the Consumer Reports overall score.

MotorTrend spends more time with each vehicle to develop an official rating. The team offers a “First Drive” impression with an overall comparison of styling, amenities, and equipment. They then take it for a significant road test, assessing everything from handling to breaking and performance. Helping to secure its official position as the best compact sedan, the Honda Civic also won MotorTrend’s six-way compact comparison test.

The 2022 Honda Civic may land in different spots on the lists for Consumer Reports and MotorTrend. But it’s clearly a compact sedan worth considering, with plenty of impressive features and extras.
